Ova je hrana praznik za oči i raj za nepce

Lijepo aranžirana hrana i namirnice, te umijeće njihovog fotografiranja, put je do uspjeha kojim su krenuli mnogi domaći i strani blogeri. Danas nam je u moru Instagram profila pažnju privukla Virpi Mikkonen @vanelja koja se ističe savršeno stiliziranim fotografijama hrane s naglaskom na roze i ljubičaste nijanse.

A little teaser of my Valentine Cupcakes I made today. Sharing the recipe with you guys on the V Day as on next Wednesday. Check out the frosting recipe +my tips for the coconut whipped cream on my Stories! Btw, Many of you have been asking that I should make videos here on IG. Is that something you’d find inspiring? I use to make quite a lot food videos with my partner @finn_andersson who’s in video biz, but for some reason we haven’t done any lately. You can go & check out some of Vanelja’s videos from my site, link in my bio. Enjoy your Friday, my muffins! Oh, and bringing these cupcakes to #bestofveganvalentine party by @bestofvegan #vanelja #cupcakes

Vipri je poduzetnica, autorica bloga Vanelja i kreatorica zdravih recepta, koja živi u Helsinkiju s 5-godišnjom kćerkom i suprugom redateljem. Po zanimanju je novinar, ali je prije 7 godina zbog zdravstvenih problema s kožom i želucem morala drastično promijeniti prehranu, izbaciti gluten, mliječne proizvode i rafinirani šećer. Kako je problem uspjela riješiti uz pravilan odabir hrane. Svoje je iskustvo u to vrijeme odlučila podijeliti na prvom finskom wellness blogu naziva Kiitos Hyvää (To je užitak), koji je ubrzo postao vrlo popularan, a mnogi čitatelji sa sličnim problemima počeli su je redovito pratiti. Povratne informacije koje je od čitatelja primala, bile su joj dobar poticaj i inspircija da nastavi pisati o wellness hrani. Nakon porodiljnog dopusta odlučila je napustiti posao novinara i postala poduzetnica. Tijekom prve godine napisala je i fotografirala svoju prvu kuharicu o zdravim poslasticama, koja je kasnije objavljena i na engleskom jeziku pod imenom It's a Pleasure. Iste je godine pokrenula i web stranicu vanelja.com, koja se fokusira na čiste užitke. Više ne dijeli zdravstvene savjete, ali svakodnevno nadahnjuje ljude da se i sami upuste u stvaranje ukusnih i zdravih obroka. Do sada je napisala 4 kuharice, a dvije N'ice Cream i It's a Pleasure možete kupiti na Amazonu.

Na Instagram profilu trenutno ju prati više od 159 tisuća sljedbenika koje redovito oduševljava novim slatkim pričama.

Fancy a delish, plant-based & gluten-free Mother’s Day Cake? Well, here’s your recipe! Created this special treat in collab with Risenta @risentasuomi and their lovely almond meal which is my fave flour when baking because it just makes everything suuuper tasty. For the decoration you’ll get a fun twist when you cut off a cake slice before frosting and fill also the notch with plant-based whipped cream and berries. Hope you’ll try it & like it! (Resepti suomeksi kommenteissa!) Have a sweet weekend! #vanelja #collab #risenta ✨ Vanelja’s Mother’s Day Cake (vegan, gluten-free) ✨ Cake: ½ cup oat milk 4 tbsp ground flax seeds 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted ⅔ cup applesauce, unsweetened 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup almond meal by Risenta ⅔ cup oat flour (or grind rolled oats in the blender) ½ cup coconut sugar 2 tsp baking powder tiny pinch sea salt ✨ Filling & on top: Coconut whipped cream or soy whip fresh berries banana almond flakes ✨ Tin diameter: 16-18 cm / 6,5 - 7 inches ✨ Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F degrees. Mix the oat milk and ground flax in a small bowl and leave to thicken for 10 mins. In the meantime measure the coconut oil, applesauce, apple cider vinegar and vanilla in a big bowl and stir well. Mix the almond meal, oat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder and salt in another bowl and mix then with the wet ingredients. Stir in also the flax gel. Grease a cake tin with coconut oil and pour in the cake dough. Bake for about 40-45 mins, until a toothpick comes out clean. Note that the texture of the cake should be a bit moist. Take the cake out of the oven and let cool completely. Split the cake in two with a sharp knife. Fill with coconut whipped cream or soy whip and banana slices. Set the other half on top of the lower half and frost the cake with coconut whipped cream or soy whip and place lots of fresh berries on top. Finalize with edible flowers.

Saturday looks like Blueberry Coconut Dream Bowls. {Recipe below ⤵︎} Topped with Blueberry & Matcha Coconut Cream Drops. As you can see my piping game has now evolved from flowers to dots. Might sound crazy, but piping those tiny dots is extremely meditative. Tried it the first time here, but I bet there’s more to come. By the way, how you like my new rose marble backdrop, feeling it? I’m kinda in love. Have a good one! #vanelja ☁️ Blueberry Dream Smoothie ☁️ 1/2 cup blueberries 1 cups rolled oats 1 ripe banana 1/2 cup coconut milk, from the fridge 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 tbsp lemon juice 1/2 cup or more oat milk Place all the ingredients, except oat milk into a blender and blend until smooth. Add so much oat milk so that you get the right thickness. Enjoy!

You said it: This was my best post in 2017 - Blueberry Thyme Dream Cake! ✨Thank you for all the shares and likes and comments and love! You really are my angels. #vanelja #dreamcake #vaneljadreamcake Blueberry Raw Cake Base: 100 g / 3,5 oz dried, soft apricots 1 cup pecan nuts pinch of sea salt Filling: 2 cups cashew nuts (soaked for 30 minutes & rinsed) 1 ripe banana ¼ cup coconut oil, melted 5-6 tbsp raw organic honey or maple syrup ¼ cup oat milk or almond milk, if needed 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ cup blueberries handful of fresh thyme leaves On top: blueberries fresh thyme Pan diameter: 18 cm / 7 inches Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of a cake pan. Place all the base ingredients into a food processor or a high-speed blender and blend until moldable dough. Press the dough firmly into the bottom of the cake pan. Prepare the filling. Place all the filling ingredients (except blueberries and thyme) into the food processor / blender and blend until smooth. Add some dairy free milk, if needed, to get a smooth texture, still keeping it as thick as possible. Pour about ⅓ of the mixture into the cake pan and smooth out the surface. Add blueberries and thyme to the food processor / blender and blend with the remaining mixture. Taste and add some of the spices, if needed. Spoon the filling into the cake pan and even the surface gently with a spoon so that you don’t mix the white and the purple filling. Top with blueberries. Place the cake pan into the freezer for about 2-3 hours or until the cake is solid. Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a serving dish. Sprinkle on some thyme leaves, serve and enjoy. Store in a fridge.
